Stupidly delicious.
6015 St-Hubert, Montreal, H2S 2L8
Since this is Montreal, we know that La Bêtise literally translates to “Stupidity” or “Nonsense” in English (…ok fine, I google translated.)- so it’s only fitting that at this resto they don’t take themselves too seriously…it is all about eating, drinking, and having a good time. Having been around for 4 years already, I have clearly been missing out on this spot- until now. And now it’s your turn to get to know the tiny and trendy La Bêtise.

Firstly, you should know that they don’t do things conventionally here. They add their own asian-fusion twist to some of your classic favs (mac and cheese, poutines, tartares, and more). So I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised to find a rustic/western décor right down to the cow-print upholstered chairs and wooden slab menus. The menu has lots of tapas options, but for those of you who aren’t into sharing your food (I have my days…), don’t fret, there is also a table d’hôte. In honour of Le Burger Week, an additional menu-item was the “Heart Attack Burger”. I opted to go for tapas instead. Their drink menu is equally impressive- LOVED the clear sangria and christmas mojito (very generous portions as well).

We ordered 5 different tapas….the max amount we deemed socially acceptable for two people: crab bites (yum), classic salmon tartare (DELICIOUS- they ran out of their truffle oil salmon tartare, but we were happy to have this one in its place), lamb and ginger raviolis (more of a dumpling, but also really good…I love the addition of ginger), fish tacos (definitely good, but not as memorable as the other tapas), and the general tao poutine (unique and inventive dish, a tad sweet for me…but I still enjoyed every bite).

Whether it’s for cocktails and tartare with the girls, burgers and beer with the boys, or date night, DEFINITELY trek out (a little off the beaten path) to La Bêtise!
Date night: Date night, girls night, boys night, good for all occasions!
What I wore: Leggings, blouse, and a silk bomber
Mind, Taste, Love.
